SUSPENDERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part Application filed June 23,1902.

- ments in Suspenders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in suspenders of that class in which the shoulderstraps are connected with the rear trouser-tab by straps which have fixed connection with the shoulder-straps and slidable connection with the trouser-tab.

The invention consists in the features of construction and combination hereinafter more particularly described andclaimed.

In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, the figure is a view of a back of a pair of suspenders embodying my invention, so much only of the shoulder-straps being shown as is necessary to illustrate the invention.

As shown in the drawing, the shoulderstraps A and A are independent of each other and are provided at their rear ends with links 2 and 2, respectively. The links 2 and 2 are formed with eyes 3 and 4 and 3 and P, through which eyes are passed and secured the ends of straps 5 and 6. The straps 5 and 6 are threaded intermediately and independently through the eyes 7 and 8 of the loop 9. To the loop 9is secured the downwardly-projecting trouser-tab strap 10, formed at its ends with openings 11 to receive the rear trouser-buttons. As shown in the drawing, the distance between the eyes of Letters Patent No. 755,026, dated March 22, 1904.

Serial No. 112,745. (No model.)

of the shoulder-strap loops to which the ends of the connecting-straps are secured is equal to the distance between the eyes of the trousertab, and the connecting-straps are crossed intermediately of the trouser-tab and shoulderstraps.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pair of suspenders comprising the shoulder-straps, a trouser-tab, a double loop carried by said trouser-tab, and a pair of straps connected at their rear ends with the shoulderstraps, and intermediately and independently threaded through the eyes of said trouser-tab loop, said connecting-straps being separated an equal distance at their trouser tab and shoulder-strap ends, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A pair of suspenders comprising the shoulder-straps, a trouser-tab,'a double loop carried by the trouser-tab, double loops carried by the rear ends of the shoulder-straps, the distance between the eyes of said trousertab loop being substantially equal to the distance between the eyes of each shoulder-strap loop, and a pair of straps independently connected at their ends to the eyes of the shoulderstrap loops, and intermediately threaded through the eyes of the trouser-tab loop.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

HUGH Gr. MAGWILLIAM.
